It’ll be the other half too if we don’t figure out a final solution to the billionaire question.

That’s fucking amazing, Joe Scott should do a video on this.

God people like you make it sound so easy and then I tried it to find it’s actually even easier.

Naturally occuring nuclear reactor in Africa? Nature is fucking weird bro.

The guy who wrote that poem was the aforementioned complacent majority who was comfortable with fascism till it was his turn. It will be your turn soon.

“First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me”

• Pastor Martin Niemöller - Initially an antisemitic Nazi supporter, his views changed when he was imprisoned in a concentration camp for speaking out against Nazi control of churches.

“I was just following orders.” Those who’s comforts are maintained by tyranny, and don’t want to lose the comfort provided by tyranny to stand up against it, are directly enabling tyranny. Tyrants wouldn’t last if not for the complacent “enlightened” centrist who thinks the balanced and sensible perspective is to “Keep Calm and Carry On.” “At least they’re not going after me!” says those who’s loyalty has been bought by tyrants out of fear. The same kind of people who think the ones who fight tyrants are “terrorists.”

You need to convince them the Earth is a sphere first.

Those who choose the paycheck to comply with it vs suffering under it are the ones who allow it. “I only worked with the fascists so I would survive” is what a fascist is.

A stable paycheck to believe otherwise is the most convincing. “I would do something, but I can’t risk losing my job” is the most common excuse for allowing tyranny.

Yeah? You and what army? Seriously tho I’m looking to join.

That’s what I thought.

I’d like to believe that there are good cops out there that will be like “hey wait a minute” and when push comes to shove they’ll be some of the greatest allies of the people, who protects the people and not just the powerful. I’d like to believe.

Have a BBQ with them and team up. - Police and Fascists

I don’t understand your excitement. Why do you say ‘PLEASE’ to watching Proud Boys and local police having a friendly BBQ with eachother?

It’s also worth mentioning the consolation in the fact that fascism always fails, eats itself alive, and collapses. It’s inherently unstable and unsustainable. It can collectivize a lot of power real fast, and do a lot of damage as a result, but it never lasts. Human beings need to cooperate, and hyper competitive individualism creates false loyalty and betrayals, minimal trust, minimal cooperation. Great pains and efforts, and the use of their power, is always spent trying to fight against human nature to maintain their order. Human nature always prevails.
